they always find something they are not invested in to blame for gun deaths if that were true why do we call them gun deaths why not grand theft auto deaths damn video games or something as ridiculous as Ms. Pac Man deaths?Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) responded to Monday’s shooting at the Washington Navy Yard by calling for more people to be armed, and insisted that blaming guns was like saying that obesity was caused by “too many spoons.”
In an interview on Tuesday, Newsmax’s John Bachman asked the Texas Republican if Congress should be talking about overhauling the mental health system in response to the Navy Yard tragedy.“I absolutely do,” Gohmert agreed. “It obviously has an effect, and it’s interesting that these people seem to have a common tie with extremely violent video games.”
“But it is important to note that it is our own system that’s breaking down,” he added. “How in the world do you give a legitimate ID to a guy who got ousted out of the Navy for gunfire incidents? I mean, good night. How do you give this guy access to anything?”
The congressman said that he would be “all for everybody keeping their sidearms if they’re in the military and on a military installation. That’s something we need to get back to.”
“I see a lot of problems here and blaming this on guns is like saying the big problem with obesity is we’ve got too many spoons,” he opined. “It’s not the spoons, it’s not the guns. It’s the people who have them.”
the gov't now can't keep track or even know all those who come home with post traumatic stress so allowing everyone to keep their arms puts unknown amounts of time bombs on the public streets.
recognizing the system doesn't work means less than gnat crap when your party is unwilling to allow anything to be done about it by cutting budget, buy a plane or ship but not any money for vets that have paid for your wars.
